Pros

- My team was lovely! Thank you to all of the sweet girls who I had the absolute pleasure of managing! - Free unlimited waxes. - Had amazing racial/ethnic diversity and representation in my territory. I did feel a little singled out as one of the only queer women in the building, but we're hard to find in this industry, I guess!

Cons

- Senior management was incredibly micro-managey. - Was called names, screamed at, and threatened by senior management on an almost daily basis :( - Was required to model Brazilian waxes in front of trainees, even if uncomfortable. Some trainees were very unprofessional about it :( - Had my job and pay threatened and held over my head often. - Wasn't paid enough to get a lawyer to fight the abuse I faced at this company. - Was made to deny my employees' time off requests even if I could easily make that time off work. - The raises I was allowed to offer my team, even if their performance was STELLAR, were miniscule and laughable. - HR was non-existent, so the only support you could get for mistreatment was screaming in the car on the way home. - Sick with COVID-19? Guess you're coming to work!

Pros

Great team at center level.

Cons

Upper management is extremely exploitative. Expected to work essentially every single day with no additional pay. Completely unrealistic sales expectations with little recognition when goals are hit. You are simply rewarded with higher and even more unattainable goals.
